NAJPKIN.

Application filed February 24, 1919, Serial No. 278,6{332 Renewed March 19, 1921.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY PosT, a citizen of the United States, residing at N orwalk, in the county of lVarren and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvements in Napkins, of which the following is a specification.

This inventionrelates to an improvement in catamenial sacks, and the principal object of the invention-is to provide means for holding the sack in place, so that the same will not chafe or irritate the skin of the wearer. I

Another object is to so form the parts that the pad will be firmly held in place without the necessity of pinning it to the holder.

The invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, which shows the invention in perspective.

In this drawing, 1 indicates the holder for the pad, said holder being made of any suitable waterproof material, such as rubher. A pad 2 is connected with each end of the holder and this pad at its free end is provided with a pair of tabs 3, the tabs extending upwardly from the corners of the pad. 4 indicates a belt made of any suitable material and provided with the usual buckle 5. This belt has secured thereto the upper ends of the front and rear parts of straps 6. The lower ends of these straps are adapted to engage the buckles 7, which are secured to the ends of the tabs 3. The belt has side Specification of Letters Patent.

these side straps are Patented Aug. 30, 1921.-

Serial No. 453,711.

straps 8 extending downwardly therefrom and adapted to pass over the hips of the wearer. As shown, these straps are made of. considerable width, and the lower ends of provided with buttons 9 or other suitable fastening means. A strap 10 has its center secured to each side of the holder midway the ends thereof, and these straps are adapted to extend around the thighs and to be connected with the side strap by the buttons or other securing means.

It will be seen that by making the straps of considerable length that the device may be adjusted to suit different sizes of persons and that the holder can be easily removed from the straps when desired. Furthermore, the front and side straps will so support the holder that the pad will be held therein without requiring it to be pinned in place.

lVhat I claim is A device of the class described, comprising a belt, front and rear straps depending from said belt, a pair of side straps depending from the belt, a holder, pads on the ends of the holder, means for connecting the pads to the front and rear straps and a strap having its center connected with each side of the holder, midway its ends, and adapted to pass around the thigh, and means for connecting said last-mentioned straps with the side straps.

In testimony whereof I afiix m signature.
